Polls for Best Of

I wish we had a page where members could vote on say “best peppermint snuff” or “best scotch” . Then, when you wanted to know what is the best of any snuff, the group consensus would let you know what to try first. As it stands the only way to know that is to read many reviews and then decide. A poll would be very quick to read.

I would second that so long as it does not involve the admins in a load of work. As a newbie here I really appreciate all the hard work that has gone in to this site and the mass of really useful information that can be found. Unfortunately if I continue building my “to try” list as fast as I am then I suspect that my wallet may well hate this place but I think it is great.

Ok guys, we’ve talked about this in the mod team a bit before among the ideas we’ve had. We have the ability to set them up, but I think if its more than 3 or 4 choices they can be cumbersome. We’ll discuss it further, and if it happens, you will know.

This seems like it could be a great idea especially for the people who are totally new to snuff. The forum is already great as is but a new feature like this probably would not hurt a bit

It would be cool if it were organized like the review section and strictly categorized. Would be nice to have a quick glance of the most popular snuff of a particular style or flavor. I think it could get pretty sloppy if people could just post random polls about whatever.

The useful life of the idea, can be extended, and the number of choices per poll reduced, if rather than just voting for one’s favorite from a list of all the options, a tournament bracket can be established, everybody can vote for a favorite from a list of 2 or four, and it progresses to the next round.

I agree with many of you regarding that it needs to be easy to read and easy to contribute to. I liked the ideas you have all been kicking around. The tournament bracket is a great idea.

As with everything the moment it is posted it is obsolete. A month ago you might of said Dholakia white was the king of strong snuff ,then came snafu , Now they re 4 more. And new scents are evolving daily. http://top25snuff.com/ is doing something like this now. It be helpful if your fluent in polish or can translate the pages to your native tongue.

Sadly my Polish is atrocious @basement_shaman so was not able to make much sense of it. I’m still on a quest to try new snuffs and I haven’t made my rounds to every style, but when I want to try something new say a Fruit snuff, I want to purchase what the majority of snuff users agree on, if that top choice isn’t a fit for me, I can move down to the second on the list. With this method, I won’t be spending my hard earned dollars on the worst of the bunch first and it is quicker than reading many excellent reviews that can be found here. Currently I want to try the best strong snuff, ( majority opinoin amongst us snuff folk ) and the best natural snuff. What is the most highly rated in these two categories?

I’ve asked about polls here before. They seem common on other forums and are kind of fun. The old snufftalk.org had them but only a few people would respond. Of course that’s when there were only 200 members here and even less there. I’ve seen a lot of questions posed here that would work well with polls. How old are you? Women or men snuffers? Plain, floral or menthols preferred? Favorite toasts? etc. We need a poll option!

Lets take a poll to see if we should have polls

i think we should have a straw poll or handraising to identify those of use who want or dont want to have a poll to see if we should have polls

@thorgrimnr I seen threads here , What your favorite say SP or Toast ,or coffee snuff and read threw the posts. I started one- WoS-what is your must have ? and made a informed decision on the group conscience what i wanted to purchase. It worked out but i still want to try the rest. I can see your point making it fast to fill your shopping list. I like Dholakia white for strength ,I have the Snafu and there is some irritant that burns in it. I can see the polish site liking gotart since it made there. So that is only a representation of that snuff community. When there is a need for something it usually develops, You had planted the seeds or stoked the fire so it’s already.Every thing starts as a concept .

thanks @basement_shaman, I’ve heard about the Dholakia white so there must be something to it, I’ll have to give it a try. I’d like to see the Best Of Polls grow into something useful, if it happens. I know how much time it must take to make something like this will be very happy if it happens.

We now have the ability to run polls on the website. It is interesting but not super helpful unless someone collates all the info in one place. In this case there were 4 choices (the max allowed per poll) for favorite apricot snuff. I simply chose the four apricot that first came to mind. We could run another poll with other apricot and then pit the winners against each other, but it might get tedious. The stats are 11932 views, 936 rejections and 132 responses.

I saw that. I didn’t vote because Wilson’s outclasses all 4 of those by far.

@MrSnuff I got to vote five times , It might not be a true result !

thanks so much @MrSnuff . Can’t wait to try this out.

Where is Samuel Gawith , Paul Gotard, Toque, Wilsons of Sharrow on that poll ? Does Gawith Hoggarth even make a Apricot snuff? or is that Poschl-Gawith And is that with or without menthol?

Vote for best toast… Wilson’s 22 2nd IDL
